Well, I just spent an hour and a half on the phone with Dell's technical support.
I called because lately I've been getting these weird "your display driver has stopped responding" errors and my screen goes REALLY huge and well...doesn't display things properly. So I called about that. While he's trying to fix it, we restart my computer, and I got an error screen that Windows shut down, and it's dumping my physical memory (which I'd already gotten 2x this morning).
So he tells me...my memory has gone bad. I need to replace it. Ugh. I *think* I can get it for free, at least 1GB, because I'm still under warranty for another 5 months. But, I have to call technical support to open a second ticket, since he was only helping me with the first problem I called about (the display drivers).
Hopefully now my drivers are up to date and don't keep "not responding", lol. But while we were trying to install the drivers, I got the same error, so he had me reset my cache. I have NO idea what this means...I had it pretty high so that I could run PS on this computer (it's got 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive). I'm not even sure if I'll be able to run PS very well the way he had me set it (but I had to, or it would continue dumping my physical memory).
Ugh. I can't wait to get my Mac. Seriously.
